Abstract

The global community's failure to prevent severe human rights violations, such as the Rwanda Genocide and Yugoslavian atrocities, led to the development of the "Responsibility to Protect" (R2P) doctrine, adopted by the UN in 2005. R2P aims to shield populations from genocide, ethnic cleansing, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. Despite its promise, R2P's implementation is hindered by geopolitical interests and power dynamics. To address ongoing atrocities, it is essential to strengthen international accountability mechanisms and prioritize civilian protection, ensuring such violations are neither tolerated nor inevitable.
